Security Theater; TSA Edition

The Blue-Gloved Goons were getting set for some extra screening:



There were five of them, including one of them who was standing next to the door to the aircraft, just looking at people. When I saw them assembling, I meandered over to the check-in desk and asked if there was a problem. One of the gate agents opined that it was only the TSA justifying their manning levels.

Seriously. At that airport, they run everyone through the Rapie-scanner. All of the carry-on bags are X-rayed. For the extra bag check, the blue-gloved goons looked in the bags and kind of poked around. Unless someone had a gun lying right at the top or a big wad of C-4 all wired up, they weren't going to find anything.

It was nothing more than an act and everyone knew it. The body language of the TSA goons broadcasted that they knew that what they were doing was just for show.

Be careful. Snapping a picture of them is probably a Federal crime of the black-prison-across-the-sea-for-life type.
